Mailbox Flinger Notion

Open here the mailbox fling did I
To in hopes a letter get
(or card)
Instead but what I saw: a nothing-sigh;
That inside was somewhat less
I the notion met.
Ah, condition hard!
That empty finds by mailbox-flingers got,
That should greet the watchful eye quick-turned
(or ear)
A wicked-vacant blank or absent spot.
But hope wound such by simple nothing oft
is burned.
(A package would have been really nice.)

You ought to have seen it in German
